[Thrombosis of the left jugular-subclavian vein junction as a rare late complication of oleothorax].
Thirty years after bilateral pneumolysis followed by plombage with paraffin for bilateral upper lobe tuberculosis, a 58-year-old female patient suffered a thrombosis of the left jugular- subclavian vein junction. Compression of the vessel by the plombage in addition to chronic fibrous scar tissue reaction must be assumed as the main cause of thrombosis, since infection of the plombage space was excluded.
